MARQUETTE -- The N.M.U. Center for Economic Education and Entrepreneurship was selected by the National Council for Economic Education as one of six hosts nationwide for foreign economic educators participating in a study tour to see how economics is taught in the United States.
Nine Latin American educators and two translators are spending the next few days in Marquette. Saturday, area K-12 teachers attended workshops with the visiting educators.
"The international flavor that's offered to such a program, because we are such a small world, makes it essential for us to communicate with other countries and exchange ideas," says Sabina Austin from the center.
"To achieve different techniques in order to teach them different things about United States education and different concepts from economics," says Claudia Sicola of Lima, Peru.
The visiting teachers will be here in the U.P. until Tuesday.
